Curt Sylvester, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions new offensive coordinator Ted Tollner will be the club's play-caller next season, according to head coach Steve Mariucci. "Right now, we're going to proceed with Ted as the play caller," Mariucci said. "I'll stay with him, and (QB coach Greg Olson) would be the guy who gives it to the quarterback on the field. That's the way I did it a lot in San Francisco, and I liked it better that way."

Detroit Lions head coach Steve Mariucci is ecstatic about adding offensive coordinator Ted Tollner to the team's coaching staff, reports DetroitLions.com. "His pedigree is incomparable, having learned from Don Coryell, who most regard as one of the most innovative offensive coaches in the history of our game," Mariucci said of Tollner. "Ted's been involved with the most successful and progressive offensive philosophies in football from Don Coryell to LaVell Edwards to John Robinson to Marv Levy to Chuck Knox. He will be a tremendous asset to our young offensive players. This is an exceptional addition to our staff."

Cam Inman, of the Contra Costa Times, reports San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Ted Tollner hopes to remain with the team, but said his tenure will likely depend on who is hired as the new head coach.

Through the offseason camps, the team appears to be using more shifting and motion. The team will also probably attempt more medium to deep passes than they did with former 49ers QB Jeff Garcia at quarterback.

"We're going to go back through what we did in those five practices of the first minicamps. We'll look to eliminate those errors in assignments, alignments and techniques," said Tollner. "You're really after exposing them to the base part of your offense so they can end up with enough confidence to do what they're capable of doing physically."
